One Policy Set, Four Enforcement Points
Different gates with different rules create gaps and developer friction. A unified policy engine evaluates one definition at PR, build, admission, and runtime.

Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Different gates with different rules create gaps and developer friction. A unified policy engine evaluates one definition at PR, build, admission, and runtime.
License risk that surfaces at release time is already too late. PR-time license policy turns an open-ended legal review into an automated, predictable check.
Signing artifacts is necessary but not sufficient. The policy that verifies signatures, attestations, and trust roots is what turns signing into a security control.
Claude's prompt caching gives you 90% discount on cached tokens. Security workloads have massive cacheable surface area. Griffin AI takes advantage; direct API use often does not.
MCP servers expose tools that AI agents can call directly. Capability policy decides which tools each agent gets, with the same rigor as any other supply chain gate.
Detection and response cannot scale if the prevention layer is missing. Guardrails turn the lessons of past incidents into the policy that prevents the next one.
We attended the Open Source Security Summit 2026 and came back with five actionable insights for security teams.
A clear-eyed look at Wolfi's value as a container base image distribution: glibc-based design, security defaults, build provenance, and where it does not fit.
An analysis of the state of open-source security in 2025. Critical infrastructure runs on projects maintained by small, often unpaid teams. Here is what the data shows and why it matters.
